Moving isn't an option for various reasons.
I asked for the phone number yesterday and that made my father call. And not the voicemail message says that the sweep has Covid and can't work for the foreseeable future. My luck. I asked my father to call our neighbour, he usually knows trustworthy workmen. I won't call myself because he and my father have been best friends since childhood and he and I aren't each other's favourite person, to say the least. If he doesn't know a trustworthy and good sweep we're going to call the company who is going to repair a section of our roof soon.
Why not find a sweep on the internet? Apparently there are a lot of shady and untrustworthy sweeps. You're best bet is getting a recommendation from friends/family/acquaintances.
For those informing: yes, I do have a carbon monoxide detector. My father thought it was me overreacting, but it now shows it wasn't. Luckily all my heaters switched off automatically before the detector was set off.
